Edged Weapons:
Very nice and well balanced,wicked fighting knife.Everything about this knife tells us it was period made.The heavy guard was removed from a foot officers sword and a nice,lighter "S" guard was added.They took some time and skill making this one.The "S" guard is recessed in to the brass so it is flush.The 13 inch salt and pepper blade,with no fuller,is in strong,stable condition.19 inches over all with a polished appearance wood grip that is tight and solid.No wobble here.Ornate pommel cap that is tight and solid as well.Better than most "cut downs" you see! $495.00
Model 1832 short artillery sword with scabbard.Nice salt and pepper blade with an even nicer cast brass handle and guard.Eagle on the pommel cap and the fish scales are in great shape.The markings on the blade are obscured but we know this is an 1835 produced sword because that was the only year that the two inspectors,Henry Knox Craig and Justin Murphy,both inspected this sword according to the Ames records.Both their initials can clearly be seen on the brass guard.Scabbard still retains brass throat but ,as you can see, the tip of the leather scabbard broke off ages ago.Tight construction with no wobble.Displays great! $655.00
Very nice saber bayonet for the British two band Enfield rifled musket.Nice grips and spring still works. $170.00
Enfield socket bayonet with full length blade.The socket shows the effects of taking a severe blow from the inside!! The socket is flared out from the interior where a section has broken off.A burst barrel is the first thing that comes to mind.Yet another relic that you wish could talk! Cool item. $75.00
A nice dug Enfield bayonet out of Northern Virginia. $120.00
